Physical description:(And I am using Luffy from One Piece in these pics...)
A young kid, he doesn't look much at all. He has a smaller, skinnier body, with hidden muscles. Lean and a little streamlined, Sota has been through enough to have earned the problem of poverty, which has always showed in his very skinny looks. He lost his baby fat at an early age, meaning it's almost like he has nothing at all. A lot of the time some body part may be broken or bruised, like his one hand which is usually covered in bandages even when not broken at all. Duct tape and bandages are usually seen over certain places, maybe on the arm, the neck or legs. His skin is slightly tanned, but it's hardly noticable.
Sota has jet black hair, short and messy to show he lives on the streets. He's never had a haircut, so the ends are always uneven and layered. Most of the time the hair is greasy, shining with oil until he decides to stick his head under a waterfall. It doesn't take much to get his hair clean, only needing water to wash away any grease that may have come. Of course, Sota isn't usually sticking his head under water....he'd rather prefer the grease.
Like his hair, he has black eyes. His eyes are usually wide, possibly from habit. Either that or they are closed. There is a small stitch-like scar underneathe his left eye. A lot of people say he looks like Luffy because of it.
Clothing generally is whatever he finds on the streets. It could be a large hoodie one day, a blue and white shirt the next day. Sometimes it's outrageous t-shirts for bands he's never heard of. A lot of the time he runs around barefoot, which is one explanation for the many scratches he has on both feet. Other times he may have very worn out sandals, which either cause him to trip or to get a blister. A lot of the time Sota looks for things with lots of pockets in them. Pockets help him collect the treasures he's found and so he may wear a hoodie with pockets a whole week instead of wearing a t-shirt for one day. Accessories are sometimes chains, dog collars he's found on the ground, bracelets, spiky jewelery and ect. In general, he's what one would expect of a street dweller.
Temper:Think Naruto and Shikamaru fused into one person. Sota has two distinct personalities.
One is the lazy mode. Usually found either when depressed or just feeling lazy. This is the usual attitude of Sota, since he's been thrashed around enough to break down any person. Cool and calm, he thinks before his actions, choosing what to do before going to it. For somebody who hasn't been given much education, he's got a high I.Q.. In this state when depressed he may give a cold glare to people, far from his usual grin. The other attitude is a lot like Naruto's. Loud, determind and extremely mischeivious. This is used around friends and when he feels brighter. He'll make a good decision, and work on it with an undying determination. Just when you think he's been broken down, he'll try to rebel again. Pranks are a common fave of his happy personality, so most enemies would wanna be carefull around him...
Strong point:Although he isn't a ninja he displays a good chakra control, which may help in the future if he enrolls into an academy.
Sota has an undying determination which gets him at an advantage.
He knows how to use weapons and knows the art of the blacksmith.
From a while ago he has been able to display knowledge on hacking computers.
Weakness:He isn't yet a ninja, so he can be easily hit.
Determination usually leads to getting into a fight.
Cannot cook a decent meal.
Has Asthenophobia- Fear of fainting or weakness, Atychiphobia- Fear of failure and Athazagoraphobia- Fear of being forgotton or ignored or forgetting.
Story:Slave Hospital, 20 miles from Tanzaku town at 2:00 am on December the 1st. A boy was born to the Tekugi family and named Sota Tekugi. His mother was Alice Tekugi and his father Udon Tekugi. Both were scared of having a child. Why? The Tekugi family were slaves, dedicated to serving their master. Their master's name was classified, and only called by Boss. Boss had claimed the family from his father, who had stumbled upon the farmers 50 years ago in a small community near Wind and Fire country's border. Boss had learned the slaves were hard working, determination running in the family. A lot of them had Atychiphobia, which motivated them to get the job done. At a young age, they had Athazagoraphobia, a fear which made them want to be in the work with the adults, so they were not ignored. This family didn't want their children to do this, since it was child labor, but the kids persisted. And the Boss made more money. So when Sota was born, Alice was already worried that she would be giving her son a life of hard work.
She was right. Sota began to want to be a ninja. He pretended working was training. As soon as he reached his toddler age he began participating by constantly helping his mother make food for the Boss. First he was comfortable peeling some of the vegetables, then he wanted to chop them with his mother's cooking knife. However he was a little clumsy, and soon the Boss got mad at the potato skins he found in his dinners. Finding it a hassle for Sota to work with his mother, he got the kid interested in weapon making. Sota ended up trying to be a blacksmith like his father. Starting with putting more logs into the fire, it soon escalated into trying to test out the weapons themselves. He did well with a blade. But at 5 years old he nearly scratched out his eye, cutting a scar below the left eye. Believing blacksmithing was too dangerous for his son, Udon sent him back to the Boss.
The Boss wasn't so happy. Twice had Sota been sent back to him. Lashing the small child a few times, he sent the child to work with his Uncle in technology. His Uncle proved to be very strict, ordering the boy around by making him calculate the right codes. Sota was angered at this and was fed up one year later (6 years old). He hacked the program to make his Uncle see pop ups everywhere. In rage his Uncle threw him out of the house, claiming if Sota couldn't follow orders, he couldn't work with anybody. Sota decided not to run back to Boss, and instead ran off down the road, sick of work. He wanted to be a ninja anyways. And seeing slavery was not training him, he decided to run away. The Uncle claimed he was dead of course, saying the boy ran into bandits. The Boss didn't believe him, but couldn't find Sota anywhere. Accepting the lie as a truth, Boss declared Sota fallen in the line of work.
Meanwhile Sota found hiself in Tanzaku Town itself. After days of running for the long 20 miles of forestry, his effort had given him freedom. Trying to forget about the slave family he grew up in, he set a goal to free them as soon as he became a legendary ninja. However, the path to the academy would be rough still. No money opened up the doors to poverty. But for two years he has survived Tanzaku Town's gambling, urban world. So why not survive all the more?
Sadly, the boy has not yet realized the family secret link with the demons, so he has no idea what he may or may not be....Only time will tell, but until then I present to you Sota Tekugi of the Fallen Slaves.
=========
“It is generally agreed that "Hello" is an appropriate greeting because if you entered a room and said "Goodbye," it could confuse a lot of people
So many faces in and out of my life; some will last, some will be just now and then. Life is a series of hellos and good byes, I'm afraid it's time for goodbye again. So hold her closer when she cries, hold her closer when she feels. She needs a hand to hold, someone who will never let her go again. And hold him closer when he tries to hold the tears back from his eyes. Don't say goodbye.”
-Salvus mixing three quotes together to make an introduction to hiself.
As you can probably see, my name is Salvus, and I (apparently) am a fan of quotes and sayings. Right now I'm listening to a bunch of Nirvana songs at the same time and thinking there might be a subliminal message in the mix mash. (''Cancer in a heart shaped box'' sound like a subliminal message to you?) It's out of pure boredom I'd be listening to this. I found this site when looking for a forum about naruto on forumotion. It looks interesting, so I decided to join. ^_^
If anybody has problems with the character, be sure to tell me your opinion. Even if you are not an admin I'd like to hear what you think. So I'll be waiting I guess.
Talk to ya soon!
